Just sold my fox, and want something a little more reliable and less temperamental. I've always dreamed of owning a terminator, but I only want to drop around 12K out of pocket cash. So i figured I would get a mach 1 and be happy enough, until my kids go to school and then I buy a gt350 or something. Regardless, there's an 04 cobra with 115K on it for about what I can swing. Should I scoop it up? Orshould I just run? What should I be looking for?

So carfax is clean. I paid to have a cheap inspection done on the car. A 3rd party looked it over, took photos, sent them to me, and inspected it. It seems to be solid. Nothing stood out except for obvious things. Driver seat is worn. Front bumper is chipped pretty good. Ground effects chipped. And a spot on the door is chipping as well. But no paint lines were found so it appears to be original paint. There is a build plaque Inside the car, it says the owners name was James ball. The car was originally in CA for 12 years and then it's been in colorado, which it currently resides. I may have to pull the trigget..Does anyone know a guy named James ball who owned a 2004 metallic silver cobra in CA/CO?

I'm very close to. I'm reluctant because I have not seen it in person, but sounds l ike it can be mine for 12,500 total. I found the James ball seller on Instagram and spoke to him. He had it from around 70k-100k and said it was a dream. Only had a throwout bearing issue he fixed and put in a new clutch. So the only question mark was the last 2.5 years there was 3 owners who only put a total of 10k miles on it. I don't know man. It's risky but at the price, I feel like I couo d damn near part it out for that if I had to.
